It is with great pride that we are able to say we have been voted Best Equipment Distributor by the readers of Restaurant Magazine for a fifth year running.

Representing the views and votes of hundreds of foodservice and hospitality professionals, 24 businesses were recognised for excellence across a range of categories in the Restaurant Magazine Readers’ Choice awards. 

The 2019 triumph represents the eighth time we have landed the prestigious gong at the awards, which serve to showcase the best products, brands and services the sector has to offer.

Nisbets CEO Klaus Goeldenbot said:  “We are absolutely delighted to have been voted as Best Equipment Distributor by the readers of Restaurant Magazine. In particular we are exceptionally proud to have been nominated by our colleagues from across the industry

“It’s a testament to the team’s hard work, dedication and commitment to delivering exceptional customer experience that this is the fifth year in a row we have been lucky enough to be bestowed this prestigious title. Congratulations to all the 2019 awards winners.”

Alongside our award, we were delighted to see a host of brands we stock also come away from the event celebrating success.  Rational claimed the Best Combi Oven award for a fourth time, but were run very close by Hobart, who were highly commended.

The two brands swapped places in the Best Equipment category, with Hobart coming out on top, while kitchen machine specialists Buffalo were also highly commended.

After being highly commended for Best Cooking Range in 2015, 2016 and 2018, Blue Seal  finally landed the award outright. Falcon were highly commended in the category.

Bourgeat and Vogue swapped places in the Best Pan category, with the French manufacturer winning in 2019 after Vogue, who were highly commended, had claimed the award last year.

Crockery specialists Churchill added the latest highlight in a history that spans well over 200 years by being voted Best Tableware brand.
Neighbours at the heart of the UK’s centre for world-famous ceramics, Stoke-on-Trent, Steelite received high commendation.

The continued desire of Robot Coupe to lead the way in kitchen innovations saw them win Best Gadget, while Utopia were named Best Glassware brand. Artis were highly commended.

Congratulations to all the winners! Let’s hope for more of the same next year!
